This is the top shelf of my HF display:

To the far right are two pieces of tiles I found at the bulldozed HF plant March 2014. One is green glazed and marked THE HARTFORD FAIENCE CO., HARTFORD CONN. The other is marked ATWOOD FAIENCE, HARTFORD CONN. Atwood Faience Co. was the original name of the company named after its secretary and manager; Eugene Atwood. The name was changed to Hartford Faience in 1900 when Atwood left the company.

The tile in the very center is the 519 tudor tile with a "regal lion" design [id=397148332]. The back of the tile is marked HARTFORD FAIENCE.

To the far left are two pairs of porcelain cleat marked "FAIENCE" inside a diamond (HF's early trademark). Next to those is a porcelain knob marked HF. In the far back the 501 tile design can be seen [id=403450496].
